Why the purple? Dont know if its just me, but found the styling to be a distraction. The content is good enough to stand by itself without the font and color gimmickry.


Haha sorry, that's totally my fault.

I hired 5 different artists to design the page decorations, and they delivered cool and interesting assets. But then I decided this doesn't really align with my vision and decided to do the decorations on my own in "my usual style".

So yeah, this is what you get when a programmer does page design. Sorry :)

P.S. Actually it's even worse - I kinda like the outcome, so it will probably stay.


Don't apologize for it! The varying fonts, the purple header and footer, they all add character to it! Thank you for the effort you put into this! It's amazing and truly captures a wonderful old-school zine with new-school content vibe.


No worries, sorry if I came across as overly critical. Thanks for the work, the content is awesome.


For my part, I think it looks great!
